This weekend in Bosnia, 19 year old Mehmed was killed by a 30 year old landmine. He was tending to his family’s goats, which had wandered into a mined forest. Mehmed wasn’t a soldier. The war ended 30 years ago, 11 years before Mehmed was even born. n1info.ba/english/news...

Last week, Marseille joined ICAN Cities Appeal. The city supports the #TPNW and calls on France to join it. The French government is one of the most stubborn opponents of the TPNW, yet the 3 largest cities Paris, Marseille and Lyon (and 95 others) supports it. Allez!!

Landmines kill civilians, in particularly children. It's deeply harmful by Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Finland to do this to their own people, their own children. @um.fi @radek-sikorski.bsky.social @tsahkna.bsky.social @baibabraze.bsky.social

I am writing in New York Times today about why nuclear deterrence is such a vulnerable security strategy and how nuclear weapons are uniquely sensitive to public opinion, meaning regular people have extraordinary power over their future. nytimes.com/2024/12/26/opi…

I hosted one of the most special events last night, a conversation with Hiroshima survivor Rumi Hanagaki & Palestinian photographer Motaz Azaiza about surviving, telling the stories of war crimes & the connections between nuclear weapons & the genocide in Gaza.

I’m hoping that you can hold on to your humanity right now. Continue to shocked and don’t become numb. And I’m asking that you do what you can to hold on to and support the rules of international law. Because without that, I don’t know if there’s any humanity left to hold on to.
